If you are planning a romantic evening, consider using rose petals to create a romantic setting.  Rose petals can be used to make a path for your sweetheart to follow.  The path may lead to romantic gift.  The path could lead to an outdoor jacuzzi or to a bubble bath ready for your sweetheart.  A rose petal path will peak her curiosity and I guarantee she is going to see where the path leads.  You could also scatter rose petals around a romantic setting.  You could spread rose petals on the table for a romantic dinner that you make her.  You could spread rose petals over a bed.  Whether you use rose petals to make a path or spread them in an area rose petals make for a wonderfully romantic gesture.
